And Australia.

Thank you! 1985, Southern California, steeped in The Clash and Bukowski.

Oh! Can't wait to listen to this one.

As usual, Fiona McFarlane's gifts astonished me with 'The Sun Walks Down'. I read the physical book.

'Our Evenings' by Alan Hollinghurst was languorous and delightful company, as read by Prasanna Puwanarajah.

I found Belinda Probert's 'Bill's Secrets' respectful approach in uncovering her father's history quite poignant. I got the physical book from Upswell Publishing Australia.

Holly Brickley's 'Deep Cuts' is a music lover's deep dive, a love story, and a hoot. I read the physical book.

Jessica Stanley delivers with 'Consider Yourself Kissed', a beautifully written love story that weaves in current affairs and contemporary challenges for women and mothers. I listened to the audiobook narrated by the fabulous Lydia Leonard.

I also enjoyed the audio production of Ashley Kalagian Blunt's 'Like Follow Die', a compelling story told exceedingly well and exposing current societal fissures in a clear (and terrifying) way.

No argument from me.

I can imagine. Still, many congratulations.

What a deeply horrible human.

I’m embarrassed that it is only 63%.
